The Dodgers won this series but couldn't give their fans what they wanted most: A well-deserved shellacking of Brad Penny. Instead, the rotund starlet-dating Oklahoman found further refuge in the NL, holding the Dodgers to five hits and two runs over seven innings. Chad Billingsley threw another worrisome four innings, allowing three runs (two on a Juan Uribe two-run homer) while striking out six. Joe Torre yanked him after only 70 pitches. As Vin said, the Billingsley story will not be lost in the shuffle.

The good news? Russell Martin hit his second multi-run homer in as many games, and the Padres beat the Rockies, 7-3. The Dodgers' official magic number drops to 16, and the Pirates come to town tomorrow. See you then!

No way, I chock this loss up to the power that is Brad Penny. He's awesome! Do you hear that, Brian Sabean? AWESOME. You've gotta bring him back next year, maybe for a seven-year, Zito-like deal. Do it! Do it! Doooooo ittttttt

@Dusty Baker actually i made that comment because you inspired me, you complained you didn't know what was trendy, remember? the guy with the 80's haircut?. It was pure "public service" and i don't you want to do anything with your appearance, that's your prerogative gentlemen! (and i like you just the way you are)

About the no pants trend, it's awful and i promise i won't wear that (i don't care what other ladies wear either but the less no pants i see, the better).
